Commanders' No. 7 Draft Options Expand With New Trade-Up and Trade-Down Scenarios

Fresh projections highlight a search for playmakers for Jayden Daniels without a second-round pick.

Overview

  • New mock drafts published Thursday outline competing paths for Washington at No. 7, keeping both a move up and a slide down on the table.
  • Sporting News writer Vinnie Iyer predicts a trade up to No. 3 with the Cardinals to draft Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
  • ClutchPoints proposes dropping 5–8 spots to target a first‑round wide receiver and to regain a second‑round pick that Washington does not currently have.
  • Another ClutchPoints scenario suggests offering a third‑rounder to the Steelers for DK Metcalf, a speculative idea tied to Fox Sports discussion rather than reported negotiations.
  • General manager Adam Peters says the top six selections will dictate Washington’s choice at No. 7, reinforcing a wait‑and‑see approach as the team looks to add help around Daniels.
